description Stumbling across a work by Merleau-Ponty on her bookshelf a few years ago, she was smitten again, and the result is this book, which, while it is centered on a half dozen figures (Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Camus, Merleau-Ponty), extends to a Tolstoyan cast of characters, including Nelson Algren, Richard Wright and Iris Murdoch. In a 1945 talk, "Existentialism Is a Humanism," partly in reply to Catholic and communist critics, JeanPaul Sartre used the gnomic phrase "existence precedes essence," having in mind the particularly human predicament of having to make oneself by living and deciding, without God and without fixed essences.
